Abstract

PEREIRA, Alexandre Barbosa. Where are the girls? Questions for research on hegemonically male youth cultures. Etnográfica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.51-71.  Epub Apr 28, 2023. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.12900.

From the question about the absence of girls in research that turns to juvenile cultures hegemonically dominated by boys, the article discusses the possibilities of articulation between the fields of gender and youth studies. To this end, in addition to resuming empirical research by the author himself, a meta-analysis of narrative review of academic literature in the field of youth studies is performed, especially ethnography, which, in some way, worked intersecting with gender issues. The objective is, based on the analysis of studies of hegemonically male youth cultures, to investigate the implications, for the research and its final results, of the specificities of the encounter between the representations of sex and gender of those who research and who lead the studied juvenile cultures.

Keywords : hegemonic masculinities; youth; gender; female visibility; ethnography.
